@len_hubbard Mexico City is known as one of the fastest-sinking capitals in the world, due largely to groundwater pumping. This new data shows how quickly and reliably NISAR can track changes on Earth's surface.

@NASAJPL And the reason for the sinking is what? Great to track it but why is it happening? Include that please.

From space, NISAR tracked parts of Mexico City – shown in blue – that sank more than half an inch (more than 2 cm) per month from Oct. 2025 to Jan. 2026. The data shows how reliably NISAR can track small changes on Earth’s surface. Learn more: go.nasa.gov/4ugJVHA

Powering the next giant leap. A novel electromagnetic thruster that runs on lithium metal vapor was successfully fired up for the first time during initial tests at JPL. Fully developed and paired with a nuclear power source, these thrusters could reduce launch mass and support payloads required for human Mars missions.

Meanwhile, the Curiosity rover captured this 360-degree view of a region filled with low ridges called boxwork formations. At 1.5 billion pixels, this is one of the largest panoramas Curiosity has ever taken. Explore the full-resolution images: go.nasa.gov/4eyfxnR

Two new horizons: From different sides of Mars, the Curiosity and Perseverance rovers have both captured new panoramic perspectives of the science-rich landscapes they’re exploring. Perseverance's view shows a region that holds some of the oldest rocks in the solar system.

Flying aboard @NASARoman is the Roman Coronagraph Instrument, which was designed and built at JPL! This technology demonstration will help block starlight to better directly image exoplanets. Learn more: jpl.nasa.gov/missions/the-r…

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is in final preparations for an early September launch, eight months AHEAD of schedule and UNDER budget. This milestone is the result of more than a decade of dedication and millions of hours of work by NASA and our industry partners. Their commitment is what’s making this moment possible and helping drive Gold Standard Science. Roman will help answer some of the biggest questions in science, investigating dark matter, dark energy, and the structure of the universe. Its images will be so large and detailed, there isn’t a screen in existence big enough to display them. This is just the beginning.
